Senior backend engineer responsible for designing, building, and scaling data and agent infrastructure to support AI-powered enterprise intelligence products.
How to apply
- Our process is fast, structured, and transparent — built to respect your time and surface real mutual fit
Other
- Boam AI builds managed data solutions that transform messy, unstructured signals from public, private, and proprietary sources into structured, reliable, and always up-to-date intelligence on millions of SMBs and enterprises worldwide. These agentic systems power CRMs, data warehouses, AI products, and mission-critical decisions across the enterprise.
- As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will own core parts of our Scala + Python data and agent infrastructure. You will design, build, and scale existing and greenfield systems that keep our data fresh, our APIs fast, and our customers’ workflows moving. This is a role for someone who wants real ownership over hard technical problems, with minimal safety nets and a small, senior team.
- Design and build resilient backend services and APIs
- Own critical data pipelines from ingestion to enrichment to delivery
- Prepare our systems for 100x data growth over the next three years
- Build reliability and test coverage into the code itself – no separate QA layer
- Improve performance, scalability, and observability across our stack
- Work closely with data/ML to productize AI-powered agents end to end
- Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, pairing, and mentorship
- Optimize for real impact, customer outcomes, and fast iteration over theoretical perfection
- Use next-gen AI tools to improve code quality and velocity
- 5+ years building and operating production backend systems
- Strong experience with Scala, Python or functional / JVM languages
- Comfortable with distributed systems, data modeling, and high-volume pipelines
- Enjoy greenfield work: from first principles design to deploy and monitoring
- Thrive without heavy process, QA buffers, or endless safeguards
- Bias to ship, measure, and refine rather than over-architect
- Motivated by solving real user problems, not just abstract puzzles
- Excited to work where AI/ML is deeply embedded in the product, not bolted on
- Join a no-politics, high-trust, low-ego, and high-talent team
- Own mission-critical systems used by top-tier enterprise customers
- Work directly with founders & Head of Engineering on problems that matter
- High autonomy, real impact, and clear ownership from day one
- Operate at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and enterprise workflows
- Top-tier compensation with meaningful equity upside
- Help build the platform, patterns, and engineering culture you can be proud of
- A short conversation to learn more about you, share context on Boam AI and the role, and answer initial questions
- Walk us through past engineering work and how you think about complex, ambiguous backend problems
- Solve a real Boam-style technical challenge that shows your coding style, system thinking, and execution muscle
- Candid discussion with our founder on ambition, values, ownership, and how you’d grow with us as we scale the platform
